Get Paid To Visit The U. S. Virgin Islands In 2017

The U. S. Virgin Islands are a tropical paradise. A place to lounge on the beach with a tropical drink, the wind blowing through your hair. You wouldn’t think they would have to pay people to take a vacation there. Not for a lack of tourists, but to honor the 100th anniversary of becoming a U. S. Territory, the islands are offering visitors $300 to spend exploring. Money you can use to go hiking, kayaking, swimming and eating your way through the Virgin Islands. Those visiting in the month of March, the month of the Centennial, will receive a commemorative souvenir.

How do you get the $300? All you have to do is go to VisitUSVI.com and book a three-night minimum stay at one of the participating hotels on St. John, St. Croix or St. Thomas. The Department of Tourism will then send you $300 in credits that you can use like cash at any of the participating locations. There are many participating locations including museums, food tours and eco-tours where you can use the credits like cash on anything you buy, up to and including the full retail prices. The idea is to get you to explore, and learn about this piece of the West Indies. The Department of Tourism has all sorts of events planned to commemorate the centennial, and with the added incentive of $300 to spend while you are there, 2017 is the year to visit the U. S. Virgin Islands.
